    Stay off those pills - there are only TWO UNDEFEATED HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONS in the current mix

    Tony Dosh PPV has not one defeat but TWO - another defeat and he is the new Journeyman Chisora

    Defending Wilder with that logic is like trying to hype Trevor Byran being undefeated, or Haye when he hyped up De Mori for being undefeated, AJ for Breazeale, Fury for hyping up Schwarz and Wallin for being undefeated...
    .being undefeated don't mean **** if haven't beaten quality opponents. Now Calzaghe or Mayweather that's a real claim.

    Joe Calzaghe the Pride of Wales rated on your boxing rankings CV algorithm - your programming skills are improving.

    Fury and Usyk are the cream of the Heavyweight Division

    Obviously I know some things are bigger than boxing but from a fans point of view this is great. Hopefully it’s on. Two of the best in the division going at it plus it cleans up the heavyweight scene. If Usyk weren’t to fight and then loads of interim belts pop up it would be a mess.

    Same croc of **** people were saying before the last fight.

    If he doesn't figure out how to fight a southpaw, being aggressive is only going to get him hit more.

    They were going to want to absolutely guarantee a win...maybe they will dig up Golata.

    AJ rebranding himself a ‘throwback fighter’ will backfire. He must surely look at Usyk and see the apitami of an actual throwback fighter. The man has fought and beat everyone in their backyards, hasn’t blinked and is now literally war hardened ahead of their rematch.

    Agree to disagree. Don't feel like opening a can of worms today.

    Let’s not forget he only beat Chisora by two rounds on the majority of scorecards.

    Yep shot to pieces old delboy war chisora gave little BRUTHA USKY far more to think about than the big stiff weightlifter. USKY didn’t have to get out of second gear to school josh for twelve, showed josh what third gear looks like in the twelfth. Meanwhile AJs entire career toolkit was spent by round four.

    Shot old del went life and death with prime whyteleafe who himself got iced by shot old retired Alec povetkin. Whyteleafe ducked prime wallin who gave prime fury fits.

    Big josh is in that round robin of chisora-whyteleafe-Parker-Ruiz-wallin level of fighter who could all beat each other on any given night.

    fury and wilder still the standout fighters of this generation, USKY only has done at heavy so far what fat Andy or whyteleafe already did better.

    the feather fisted cruiser needs to stop big chinny josh in style here imo

    Ideally yes but it's impossible not to. Boxing is a very emotive sport and politics has always featured to a degree - including civil rights etc.

    The "throwback fighter" thing is quite amusing. My theory is it's an attempt to market to casuals that losing a few fights isn't a disaster.

    Come on Mitch that’s clearly a load of rubbish. I think you claim it’s Joyce don’t you? If that was so - why do you dedicate so many hours to hating on Fury directly or indirectly (criticising Wilder)?

    There’s nothing wrong with Joshua being your favourite. Claiming it’s Joyce to give your bias a bit of plausible deniability is just weak.

    Wilder is the standout but Usyk isn't? Shocking.

    Wilders Draw with Prime ATG Fury better than anything BRUTHA USKY has done at heavy imo. Beating chisora: eight others have done it already, beating big josh: fat grinning Andy did it far better already.
